Just over a year old, the project developing 100 acres on St. Joe Center Road, west of Maplecrest Road, is showing signs of life. Officials for the Allen County Department of Planning Services say the 100-acre area includes two projects – a 72-acre residential and commercial development project spearheaded by real estate developer Don Steininger and a nearly 30-acre community recreational facility built by St. Joseph United Methodist Church, whose church is nearby on Reed Road. The two-year old park project came to fruition when the park in July. The 29 ½-acre park was created from 30 acres of farmland purchased from two sisters who wanted their land to be used for something serene and peaceful. The church envisioned the park to be a place for families in the community to gather and grow together through recreation. The park features a basketball court, a softball diamond, two soccer fields, an amphitheater and plenty
The St. Joe Center Road bridge renovations hit the half-way point Aug. 13 when work on the north side of the bridge was completed. At that time, eastbound traffic was shifted to the north side of the bridge in order for work to begin on the structure’s south side. Phase one of the $3.4million project, originally slated to be completed in June, is slightly behind schedule said Bill Hartman, director of the Allen County Highway Department. “Due to high water delays during foundation construction and utility relocation delays, the north half of the bridge deck was placed behind

Mission (almost) accomplished Extension 25 years in the making nears completion By Nichole Hacha-Thomas nthomas@kpcnews.net
Perhaps one of the longest-running projects, the Maplecrest Road extension to connect northeast Fort Wayne to New Haven began with plans more than 25 years ago when the land was donated to the city. Construction finally started in late spring of this year to bridge the gap between the two communities. The extension begins at Lake Avenue in Fort Wayne and traverses 1.4 miles, ending at Adams Center Road and S.R. 930 in New Haven. The project is expected to be completed and open to traffic sometime in late October, nearly a month early, said Bill Hartman, director of the Allen County Highway Department. “We expect to complete (the project) ahead of schedule,” Hartman said. “The hot, dry weather is horrible on the crops, but it’s great for construction.” Long-awaited, the opening of the road

What used to be empty space will soon be an important north-south corridor from the city’s northeast side to New Haven. will be cause for celebration for those in both communities. “We imagine this being quite an important north-south corridor in east Allen County,” Hartman said.

Georgetown Square Shopping Center said celebrating is exactly what the shopping center will be doing. Though no official date has been set, the shopping center is planning a “Bridging the Gap” celebration event.

the original schedule,” Hartman said “We now expect the entire project will be finished sometime in late fall.” Phase one consisted of widening the bridge’s foundation on the north side, adding beams, replacing the deck and building a 10-foot wide trail. The trail, proposed by the Fort Wayne Trails, will eventually
Plans aren’t nailed down completely, but Partee will be inviting state representatives from both areas and there will be other activities to commemorate what Partee called “a big deal.” “The businesses on both sides are so excited,” Partee said. “Right now, it feels like we are two separate communities. This road will bring us all much closer.” More details about the “Bridging the Gap” celebration will be forthcoming, Partee said. Excitement is hard to contain for Cheryl and Chuck Wene, owners of Lopshire Flowers located in Georgetown Square. Lopshire makes plenty of deliveries in the east Allen County area and welcomes the new throughway. Cheryl said the store’s drivers will save plenty of time. “We’ll save time, not to mention the fuel savings,” Cheryl Wene said. Partee said she hopes to see increased foot traffic at the shopping center once the extension opens and she imagines plenty of residents in the Georgetown and surrounding will be making trips to New Haven more frequently. “New Haven has always been a great neighbor to us, but they will be so much closer now, it really is bridging the gap,” Partee said.
connect Shoaff Park to Indiana University – Purdue University Fort Wayne. Phase two will include replacing the sidewalk and deck on the south side and adding LED lights to the bridge. A trail will be added underneath the bridge on the west side. Hartman said he expects phase two of the renovations to go much
quicker. “The south side is a little more a routine rehab of the bridge deck,” Hartman said. “It should all go very smoothly. “ Hartman said he hopes the project will be complete by late fall. R.L. McCoy Inc. of Columbia City is completing the work after securing the bid in late 2011.

New digs for Erin’s House a win-win Temporary location at Georgetown Square benefits organization, shopping center By Nichole Hacha-Thomas nthomas@kpcnews.net
Erin’s House for Grieving Children will open the doors to its new, temporary home at Georgetown Square Shopping Center on Oct. 1 when sessions resume for the fall. The change came after the organization vacated its former Parkwest location in preparation for construction of its own stand-alone facility on 3 1/2 acres near the future site of the Northeast YMCA on St. Joe Center Road. Debbie Meyer, the organization’s executive director, said groundbreaking on the new, 14,000-squarefoot facility will take place next month. The project is expected to cost more than $1 million. “We will be breaking ground in October, depending on the weather, with a projected opening in summer of 2013,” Meyer said. Erin’s House was welcomed with open arms into the former Century 21 space, according to Maureen Partee, office manager of Georgetown Square.
“We are thrilled to have them here, they are a classy organization,” Partee said. The move, Meyer said, was facilitated by Two Men and a Truck, which donated its services. Meyer estimates 12 of the company’s employees filled two trucks in two loads to move the nonprofit’s office across town. “Every move is challenging, but Two Men and A Truck really stepped up to the plate and helped us out,” Meyer said. When determining where to relocate, the staff indexed its client list by zip code. A large percentage of families were found to reside on the northeast or southeast side of the city, making the Georgetown location — and the future St. Joe Road location — a great fit, Meyer said. In addition, the organization serves families in DeKalb County and as far away as Van Wert, Ohio. The northeastern location will bring Erin’s house closer to those clients, also. In the last four years, Meyer said Erin’s House has roughly doubled the number of
individuals it serves and now has about 1,200 clients annually. The 19-year-old nonprofit’s staff of seven and 141 volunteers provide support services for children and their families who have suffered the death of a loved one. The move has been beneficial for both Erin’s House and Georgetown. Not only does the temporary location give the nonprofit a little added visibility in the city, but the shopping center has helped out with signage and spreading the word. Georgetown Square, primarily filled with retailers, most certainly will benefit from increased traffic from both Erin’s House employees and clients. In addition, though, the shopping center will add another layer to its tenant-base with the addition of the nonprofit. The only other non-profit organization on the grounds is the Georgetown branch library. “Sure it will bring lots of business — from employees and clients, but it will be a really neat thing to be a part of the organization’s history,” Partee said.

The door to Erin’s House for Grieving Children sits closed at its temporary location in Georgetown Square Shopping Center on E. State Boulevard. The organization will open its doors to clients when sessions resume Oct. 1.
Wine, spirit fundraiser set Erin’s House for Grieving Children invites the community to the seventh annual Wine for the Spirit event on Oct. 5. The evening will pair a wine auction with hors d’oeuvres created by talented chefs —all to support a worthy cause. The 2012 Wine for the Spirit will be held at Aalco Distributing Company and will feature food donated by local restaurants, as well as a wide variety of wines and craft beers to sample. Guests also will be able to enjoy a selection of wines, cheeses and desserts at their table during the live auction with unique and one-of-a-kind auction items

to benefit the children, teens and families of Erin’s House. Adding to this year’s excitement, renowned area artist Terry Ratliff will donate one of his pieces titled “Good Time Charlie” for auction at the event. Ratliff studied under mentor Luigi Crispino, an inspirational influence in his artistic development and spent time in France painting on the Riviera, in Paris and at Normandy. Reservations for tables of eight to 10 people now are being accepted. For questions or to reserve tickets, call Erin’s House at 423-2466 or email audrey@erinshouse.org.

neighbors enjoy Praise Park, too. “The neighborhood behind the park has really embraced it. They walk their dogs there, they play Frisbee there and hang out,” Murray said. “We really just want this to be a place where everyone can connect and engage.” Immediately to the east of Praise Park sits Steininger’s development. Thus far, the space has a few tenants, including the crown jewel — the Northeast YMCA, which will occupy 20 acres of the space, the new home for Erin’ House for Grieving Children and a northeast branch of Three Rivers Federal Credit Union. The bank’s construction is taking center stage with the most visible sign of progress, complete with a groundbreaking ceremony held on Sept. 12. The branch is part of a larger expansion project which has seen several new locations spring up across the city. The St. Joe Center Road location will be a full-service center. Credit union officials hope to provide a service to an area they say has been under-served. “With the new Northeast YMCA and the general growth of northeast Fort Wayne, we wanted to provide a stand-alone branch to not only serve our current customers, but our future customers,” said Melissa Shaw, communications manager for the credit union. “We do so much more than banking, and we felt this was a perfect opportunity to serve that area.” The new branch eventually will replace the Maplewood Plaza branch. The ATM located on Stellhorn Road will remain in service. Three Rivers anticipates the St. Joe branch could open by the end of the year. Directly behind the bank will sit the eventual 80,000-square-foot YMCA
facility. After more than three years in the research and planning stages, the YMCA of Greater Fort Wayne purchased 20 acres of land in 2011. The branch will be completed in three to five years, said Nicole Liddell, the YMCA’s director of missions advancement. “At this point, the land has been purchased and a facility layout plan is in progress,” Liddell said. “Right now, we haven’t started fundraising yet.” Liddell said the fundraising for the project, which is estimated to cost between $6-8 million, is being discussed by a committee of volunteers. The volunteers will have the task of identifying people interested in supporting the project while engaging those people to support the project. Whenever the facility is built, it will further the organization’s long-term strategic plan to bring services to the area. “One of the things we feel we are good at is meeting the needs of the community,” Liddell said. “We feel we will be able to reach out to an untapped portion of Fort Wayne and provide them with a location to meet their families and friends and take part in one or more activities here.” Just south of the YMCA site, work on the future home of Erin’s House will begin in late fall, said Debby Meyer, executive director of Erin’s House. The 3 1/2-acre site will offer clients a 14,000-square-foot facility, nearly doubling in size from its former Parkwest location. “We hope to be breaking ground in October,” Meyer said. “A lot of it depends on weather.” The $1 million project is slated to be completed next summer, Meyer said.

Children dance to music by Sugar Shot at the final concert in the Georgetown Fridays: Parkview Concert Series. that the community was receptive to this idea.� Partee said she is a firm believer that music brings people — and communities — together. She said she could see the community-building first hand as neighbors chatted, children played together and new friends were made. “Music is really something that brings out all different people and unites everyone,� Partee said. “Above all, of all the things we’ve done here, this had the most buzz about it.� Partee said she’d like to thank Parkview Hospital for being the title sponsor; Jeff Sebeika, the owner of Georgetown Subway, for organizing the concerts; the series’ other sponsors, Arts United, Georgetown Little League, Huisking Foundation, Georgetown Subway, Bandido’s, Ace Tent Rental, Georgetown Merchants Association, A & D Travel, Inkworks, Georgetown Bowl and the Allen County Public Library. Partee said the series not only brought together
the community, it brought together the business owners who are like a family, she said. The ACPL Georgetown stayed open after hours to accommodate the bands’ electrical needs; Bandido’s, Subway and Dicky’s Wild Hare provided food for purchase at the concerts; Georgetown Bowl provided a rain-out venue; American Style Ballroom sent professional dancers to each concert; Lopshire Flower came up with the table decorations; Kroger brought the Chiquita Banana Lady; and Kids on the Go, Cindy Bodnar, and the Taylor Chapel youth group provided kids’ activities during the concerts. The concerts, Partee said, were great for the shopping center, but also for the community. “Anything positive and upbeat really makes people proud of their neighborhood,� she said. Organizers are in talks to return the series to the Georgetown Square next year and are in the process of securing funding.

To commemorate the bicentennial of the War of 1812, the Allen County Public Library will display an exhibit detailing the causes and major naval battles of the War of 1812 at its Genealogy Center at the main branch. The exhibit is on loan from the U.S. Navy. The ACPL is the only library in Indiana to feature this display. In addition to the six-panel display several cases of artifacts including such items as a brass blunderbuss with flared muzzle, ball molds, wood and glass rumlet, chain shot and bar shot used to disable ships rigging and powder barrels and horns will be on display. Historic Fort Wayne was instrumental in securing the exhibit for the library. The exhibit will continue through mid-September.

City promotes bike safety In yet another move to make Fort Wayne more “bicycle friendly,” Mayor Tom Henry announced proposed changes to the city code that would improve safety for bicyclists, motorists and pedestrians. “Our traffic regulations concerning bicycles were outdated and unclear,” Henry said. “These proposed changes will clarify the rules of the road so that Fort Wayne is safer for not only bicyclists, but also drivers and pedestrians.” A committee including representatives from the bike community, Fort Wayne Police Department, city transportation engineering, the Northeastern Indiana Regional Coordinating Council, city planning, the Greenway Consortium, city council and the city legal department spent several months reviewing existing traffic laws and researching best practices in other communities.

Students on the campus of Indiana University–Purdue University Fort Wayne are a little happier this semester with the opening of the new YoYo’s Yogurt On Your Own. According to results from a recent student survey, it appears the way to their happiness is through food. The survey noted a majority of students wanted another food vendor on campus, and after looking at a number of vendors, IPFW officials chose YoYo’s Yogurt On Your Own. IPFW’s acting chancellor Walt Branson and Ty Bello, owner of YoYo’s, spoke at the grand opening ceremony this morning on Aug. 23. Bello noted the IPFW location is the locallyowned company’s third store in the city. Currently, the store located in Walb Union has about 15 employees. “We are trying to hire

Rotary seeks professionals for Austria group study exchange By Valerie Gough vgough@kpcnews.net
It is hard to imagine Kimberly Wagner was ever a shy person. While her tone may be gentle, the director of alumni relations at Indiana UniversityPurdue University Fort Wayne speaks to new people easily and with confidence. But she has not always been this way and credits a local program for peeling back her timid layers. Then assistant director of the First Year Experience program at IPFW, Wagner was quiet, shy and reserved. She rarely spoke up at meetings and typically waited for direction from her superiors to implement projects. But when a colleague suggested she apply for a Rotary Group Study Exchange (GSE) trip to Australia, she thought, “Why not?” “There are a lot of things that before, I would have said, ‘Oh sure, I’ll try it,’ but then I’d back out. I’d find a reason to not go. It was really an intimidation and maybe a lack of self confidence,” Wagner said. “There were times throughout the application
process when I thought ‘Don’t go.’ (I tried to) find every excuse to not go through with it because I was scared, I was nervous. But I put myself in there, did my best in the group interview and when I got the phone call, I couldn’t believe it.” She was selected to be part of the 2007 GSE team — made up of young professionals from different industries in northern Indiana — who spent four weeks in Australia to learn about their respective professions. Wagner was immersed in Australia’s higher education system during her stay, which included five cities with six different host families. She was also afforded the chance to observe Australian criminal justice processes, a subject she taught part-time at IPFW in conjunction with her fulltime role as assistant director. Her days were spent getting hands-on experience, making business connections, giving presentations and attending rotary meetings. Host families were always fellow rotarians and they helped to immerse Wagner in Australian

Busse IPFW Alumni Center. Wagner was offered her position as director shortly after returning from a Rotary Group Study Exchange trip to Australia in 2007. culture. But she was ultimately on her own, something she says built up her confidence and brought her out of her shell. “People saw this change in me when I came back. They saw that I was more motivated. I was more willing to put myself out there,” Wagner said. “It was really about finding
my voice and not being afraid to talk. Before, I would sit in a meeting and just kind of listen, whereas when I came back, I was more apt to make my opinion known.” She says it’s likely why the chancellor approached her about an opening for director of alumni relations — that and her newfound
desire to make the most of her role at the university, which she credits to the Rotary Group Study Exchange. “Rotary’s motto is ‘Service above self,’ and to bring that kind of attitude back to an organization in my opinion can do nothing but good. Before I went, I was doing things because I
wanted to get ahead or because I wanted it on my resume, but now everything I do here is about IPFW,” Wagner said. “When I someday leave this place — if I leave this place — it’s going to be better than it was when I got here. That’s my mission. It’s about my employer, it’s not about me. I really think that’s something an employee can gain from this experience.” Likewise, it’s something an employer could gain by signing off on a potential applicant, which is required before they can submit to the program. Wagner said the rotary program is basically training an employee in something the company would otherwise not be able to. The Rotary International Foundation provides for the team member’s round-trip airfare, while international host families provide meals, lodging and local travel expenses. All that team members must pay for are incidentals and personal expenses. Members of the Fort Wayne Rotary Club are right now accepting applications for four people to take part May 18-June 15, See ROTARY, page A12

As summertime comes to an end and kids go back to school, it is a good time to think about routine and balance in our lives. This is the time we need to think about balancing our health and time wisely. Here are a few main tips to keep yourself and your family healthy and happy during change. • Get plenty of rest Not only does rest give us the energy to get the to-dos of the day done, it strengthens our immune system and it gives us a higher retention of new information that we have learned throughout the day. A very important note for those kids and their GPAs. Start getting into the habit of going to bed early. Ayurveda, the sister science of yoga, recommends no later than 11p.m. I prefer 10 p.m., myself. Conscious relaxation is extremely beneficial for the nervous system and hormonal balance of the body. Join a restorative yoga class or schedule a half-yoga
nidra (deep relaxation) appointment to help balance, relax and actually improve your sleeping habits in the evening. • Eat healthy As the schedules change it can be easy to trade our healthy eating habits of early summer days in for the convenience of packaged, refined foods and pizza nights. Think long term and make the time for your health, as it is an investment in prevention. Planning ahead can save you time and money. Pack lunches for the kids using left overs, fresh fruits and veggies. Ezeikel sprouted grain bread with almond butter and jelly is a favorite for my kids and gives them lots of healthy live grains and protein with a low glycemic index. A favorite replacement for potato chips is crispy kale chips. (Recipe below.) Kale is also great blended into a morning smoothie for convenience and as a great source of beta carotene, vitamin K, vitamin C, calcium and
potent anticancer properties. As for dinners prepare big portions and freeze extras for those days when cooking is not an option. Also, as the weather gets cooler, break out the crockpots for veggie soups and stews that are waiting for you when you get home. • Keep moving As your kids go back to school they naturally may be more involved in sports and movement. It can be more challenging to keep our routine as we care for everyone else’s schedule, we may begin to skip our own activities. Join a gym, a yoga school, or get together a group of friends from the neighborhood and hold each other accountable for moving everyday. • Stay present As summer winds down As summertime comes to an end and kids go back to school, it is a good time to think about routine and balance in our lives. This is the time we need to think about balancing our health and time wisely. Here are a few main tips to keep yourself and your family

Cancer Services hosts tribute dinner Cancer Services of Northeast Indiana will host its 8th Annual Tribute Dinner at the Marquis Ballroom at the Fort Wayne Marriott on Thursday, Oct. 11, 2012. This year’s event will offer guests an opportunity to pay tribute to those touched by cancer, whether a survivor, caregiver, physician, or lost loved one. The evening includes a chance to share memories with family and
friends, along with a nice dinner and entertainment. This event’s speaker, Scott Burton, admits that there is nothing funny about cancer, but he believes that laughter permeates through life. Burton is a stand-up comic and a world-class juggler who has battled cancer and won. He uses his experiences to connect with people and remind them not to get bogged down by medicine, statis-
tics, and fear, but to remember that their lives are vital and precious. Burton tells the tale of his cancer battle with humanity, refreshing honesty and an engaging sense of humor. To learn how you can pay tribute to someone or for tickets, contact Betsy Perry Patton at 484-9560 or events@cancerservices.org. Tickets may also be purchased online at cancer-services.org.

ROTARY from page 2013 in a Group Study Exchange trip to Austria. To be eligible, applicants must be 25 to 40 years of age, employed full time in a recognized business or profession and live in Fort Wayne. Applications must be received by Sept. 30 and can be requested from rotarian Mike Kelly by calling 481-6620 or emailing kellym@ipfw.edu. Once applicants have gone through the interview process locally, a group interview will take place Saturday, Oct. 27, in
A8 Plymouth and attendance is required for consideration. “It’s really a non-rotary program meant to expose different people to the rotary club,” Wagner said. “You don’t automatically become a (rotary) member afterwards, it’s really up to the individual. Personally, I joined because I got so much out of the experience that I intend to spend the rest of my life giving back to that club because they gave so much to me by picking me and allowing me to be part of this GSE experience.”

Concordia team wins down under Seven members of Concordia Lutheran High School’s basketball team, along with their coach Tim Reinking, made a trip to Australia to compete in the Down Under Sports Basketball Tournament. After 18 months of fundraising, the group traveled from July 8 through 16 with goals of experiencing another culture and playing basketball. After learning a different set of rules, the team played nine games against teams from the United States and Australia. They won eight and lost one before clinching the tournament title. The Down Under Basketball tournament is a two-day international tournament taking place at different arenas through the Gold Coast of Queensland, Australia. United States and
Australian teams compete in this event, which is in its 17th year. Games consist of two 15-minute halves, with a three-minute half time. Australian basketball is officiated differently than in the U.S. and coaches help to prepare their players to play in accordance with the new rules. Two to three practices are scheduled in Australia before the tournaments begin so players can get acquainted with the rules. Medals and trophies are presented at an awards dinner at the conclusion of the event. “This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the boys,” Reinking said. “They worked hard and represented Concordia well. I am very proud of them.”

12. For the second year in a row, the Trier Road church’s congregation began purchasing school supplies for every grade. At the same time, residents of Heritage Park, one of eight area senior health and memory care communities, began purchasing backpacks to pile full of school supplies, too. Heritage Park’s marketing director, Terri Miller said the facility traditionally has purchased backpacks and filled them. This year, in an effort to gather community support, the facility reached out and asked local businesses to help. “This is the first year we purchased the backpacks and asked the community to adopt a backpack,” Miller said. The 30 or so backpacks purchased were dropped off at locations such as DaVita Dialysis, Hoosier Physical Therapy, Parkview Medical GroupCarew, Parkview Hospital, Dr. Sherri Stiles-Walker, D. O. McComb and Sons
Funeral Homes, Neighborhood Health Clinics Inc., Veterans’ Hospital and Crossroad Child and Family Services. When Miller heard the church had “adopted” Brentwood, she figured the natural thing to do was donate the backpacks — filled with supplies — to the church’s Aug. 12 event. Miller said the area businesses were so kind. Several donated additional backpacks or supplies. “Not only were we able to help, but we inspired other people to help and they gave even more,” Miller said. At the Aug. 12 event, held at the church, children and their families were treated to a bounce house, games, free toiletries, free lunch and, of course, the free school supplies. Marilyn Nolan, school counselor at Brentwood, said the school has been blessed by the cooperative partnership with the church.

The Snider High School Mighty Panther marching band performs at a 2011 performance. The Mighty Panthers finished third at its first competition at Bluffton High School on Sept. 8.
Snider Mighty Panthers take third at Bluffton Invitational provided first peek at 2012 marching band shows By Nichole Hacha-Thomas nthomas@kpcnews.net
If the spectators inside the football field at Bluffton High School weren’t in a good mood when the Snider High School Mighty Panther marching band took the field to perform in class A competition at the On the Banks of the Wabash invitational on Sept. 8, they most likely were filled with joy afterward. The Panthers’ show: “Formidable Joy.” Filled with the sounds of trumpets, horns and the drumline, the band and color guard performed classics such as “Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee,” by Beethoven and “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring,” by Bach in its first competition of the season. The band’s closer, simply titled “Joy,” is by Andy Monroe. Class A competition was won by the Homestead High School Spartan Alliance, which also
captured the grand championship for having the highest score of all classes. The Carroll High School Charger Pride finished in second place followed by the Mighty Panthers and the Northrop High School Big Orange Pride. The Huntington North High School Marching Vikes earning fifth. Homestead’s Spartan Alliance also took home tall caption awards in three categories: music, visual and general effect. The band has approximately 100 members and is directed by Kevin Klee and Kevin Christenson. The Mighty Panthers will perform Sept. 14 at the ninth annual DeKalb High School marching band invitational. The band will hosts its own invitational on Oct. 6 at the high school.The band will perform in exhibition. The invitational is open to the public. Admission fees do apply.

Tackling back-to-school issues John Rosemond Living with children
With the advent of a new school year, it seems appropriate to tackle the issue of homework: more specifically, the question of how involved parents should be and how parents can limit their involvement to only what is necessary. As for the question of how involved parents should be, my unequivocal answer is “not much, if at all.” I am a member of the last generation of kids to do their own homework. We had to because our parents simply expected it of us. Furthermore, I distinctly remember teachers telling us that if there was evidence of parental help on an assignment, it would be graded down. Apparently, those adults knew that accepting personal responsibility would carry one further in life than mere good grades. By and large, today’s parents are enmeshed, entangled and enmired in their children’s homework. The result may be better grades (in the short run, as long as the parent in question maintains his or her involvement), but the weakening of personal responsibility. When, I ask, are administrators, parents and teachers going to get it? Over the past 40 or so years, student achievement has been going down as parental

Rosemond involvement has been going up. I have been a contrarian voice concerning this issue for a long time. During said long time, I have met many, many parents who have extracted themselves from their children’s homework and successfully resisted peer and school pressure to become re-involved. To a person, they testify that after a period of adjustment of anywhere from a month to a grading period, their children began doing better than ever in school. This should not surprise. For one thing, the child who knows that his parents are not orchestrating his homework chores will pay better attention in class. For those parents who are enmeshed, entangled and enmired and want to experience the joys of homework liberation as well as the immense pleasure of watching a child accept responsibility and perform better as a consequence, my advice is three-fold:
First, assign said child his or her very own personal homework place, preferably in his or her very own personal bedroom. That assignment goes a long way toward sending the message “Your homework is indeed YOUR homework.” Second, stand at the ready to serve as a consultant, but set a limit. You might, for instance, make a rule that you will provide assistance on three occasions per evening and that no such occasion can last longer than five minutes. Suggest to your child that he do all that he can do on his own and then bring the three most vexing homework problems to you. If my experience serves me well, within three months your child will be bringing no more than one problem to you per evening. In the process, he will have discovered that he’s far more capable than he thought he was. Third, set a limit on how late your child can work on homework. Having to put homework away, whether finished or not, at a certain time will force your child to begin managing his time more efficiently — yet another important life skill. Begin enjoying the many fruits of retroparenting!

BIKE from page A7 Proposed amendments to the traffic regulations ordinance clearly outline the traffic laws that both motor vehicles and bicycles must follow. Examples include: Rules of the road — every bicyclist riding on a street must adhere to all the same traffic laws that drivers of vehicles must follow. Motorists must treat bicyclists the same way they treat other moving vehicles on the road. This means: 1. The driver of a vehicle coming out of an alley must yield the right of way to all crossing traffic, including bicyclists and pedestrians; 2. Drivers can only turn right in front of a bicyclist riding on the right side of the road if the vehicle has passed the bicycle and is safely clear of it; 3. When turning left, motorists must yield to a bicyclist approaching from the opposite direction just as they would yield to another vehicle. • Three-foot zone: A driver passing a bike must leave at least three
feet between the vehicle and the bike, until safely past the bicycle. Many bike-friendly communities have established “three foot zones,” in order to prevent series accidents. • Bike lanes: Vehicles must yield to a bicycle operating in a bike lane; vehicles may only enter a bike lane to turn right if there are no bikes in the lane. Cars and trucks may not drive in a bike lane unless entering a legal parking space; vehicles cannot block a bike lane. • Prevent “dooring:” A common term for a cyclist crashing into an open car door is called “dooring;” the amendments state that motorists should yield to moving traffic — including bicycles — before opening their door to exit or enter their vehicle. Drivers should not leave a vehicle door open longer than needed to get out of the vehicle. • Bicycles on sidewalks: Whenever a bicyclist is riding on a sidewalk, they must yield to all pedestrians and
must clearly state that they are passing someone who is walking. For example, a cyclist might call out “Passing on the left.”
